| Summary | assicurazionilodi.it zoominfo.com/c/agenzia-vittoria-assicurazioni-lodi-stazione/1342235416 Vittoria Assicurazioni “Lodi Stazione” agency (#393 in the network) — a private insurance agency owned by Massimo Garati in Lodi, Lombardy (Via Nino dall’Oro 28/30, RUI A000169373, registered 30.11.2010, Section A agent under IVASS supervision). Garati’s story: he ran an ITAS agency for years, then in 2016 executed a full portfolio transfer (travaso di portafoglio) from ITAS to Vittoria Assicurazioni — a rare mandate switch carrying his entire client base — and built an unusual digital edge for provincial Italy: a generic city domain (“assicurazioni Lodi” = local SEO gold), Google Ads/My Business management and a content-rich FAQ site. He sells the full Vittoria line: auto/mobility, home, family, pets, savings, pensions, legal protection, agriculture, crafts, offices/hotels, transport. Behind it stands the parent — Vittoria Assicurazioni S.p.A. (Milan, founded 1921 ) |
